The three default server addresses are:
ns1.mindspring.com [207.69.188.185]
ns2.mindspring.com [207.69.188.186]
ns3.mindspring.com [207.69.188.187]
They belong to EarthLink and resolving mcafee.com correctly, so at least we know
that the problem is with your computer. Try this: Start -> Run -> services.msc, find
"DNS Client", double-click on it, click Stop, choose Disabled from the startup type
box then OK. Despite its name and description, this service is only needed when in
a NT domain (you are not). See if it works now. If not, the most likely cause is
a broken firewall or another security application. What firewall, antivirus etc.
are you using?
